Study Strategies That Actually Work

Traditional study advice wasnt made for ADHD brains. These techniques work with how you think, not against it.

Pomodoro Technique

Work for 25 minutes, break for 5. The time pressure helps ADHD brains focus and the breaks prevent burnout.

Pro tip: Use a visual timer you can see counting down

Background Sounds

Lo-fi beats, white noise, or nature sounds can help reduce distracting thoughts and improve concentration.

Pro tip: Try brown noise—many ADHDers find it most effective

Active Recall

Instead of re-reading, test yourself. Write questions, use flashcards, or teach the material out loud.

Pro tip: The Blurting Method: write everything you remember, then check

Body Doubling

Having another person present (even virtually) helps maintain focus. Their presence creates gentle accountability.

Pro tip: Use FocusMate or study with a friend over video call

Strategic Breaks

Dont fight your need for novelty—work with it. Plan varied activities and switch subjects to stay engaged.

Pro tip: Move your body during breaks—jumping jacks reset focus

Micro-Goals

Break tasks into the smallest possible steps. "Study math" becomes "Open textbook to page 47."

Pro tip: Make the first step so easy you cant say no
